A wise editor says: "A man told ua
the other day that we did not publish
all the things that happened. We
should sny not. In the first place, there
Is somebody else depending on us for
a living. If we printed all that hap
pens we would soon be with the nn
gels. In order to please the people we
must print only the nice things said
of them and leave the rest to gossip.
Yet It's a fact we don't publish nil the
news. If we did wouldn't it make
spicy reading? I'.ut It would bo for
one week only; the next week you
would read our obituary. All the
news is all right when It's about the
